Came here for the second time and I got the Ginger Dun Dan this time, which is their steamed egg pudding. I love Asian puddings, this was not to sweet and loved the ginger juice I got with it. We also got some sago desserts, ice cream and a drink!

Although the food has good flavor, I was SO disappointed with my last purchase. I got the fried chicken w mushrooms to go. When I got home, I had gotten a big piece of skin w only 3 small pieces of meat attached. I was too hungry to go back. Bad form Simple One!

This place specializes in HK desserts. The tofu pudding drink is pretty good but their hot tofu pudding dessert isn’t very good—grainy and a bit too strong in tofu

I came across this Cantonese dessert place and it was a lot better than I expected. I really liked it since it has a great variety of dessert.

I went during the downtime so ymmv in terms of service and atmosphere. Food was decent, it's your basic Chinese desserts and snack spot.
Parking: Parking is provided, but the ramp for the driveway is steep - you've been warned.

It's a cafe so don't expect full service restaurant level service. My three stars isn't a ding on the service, just relative to what you get. The kids just do their job.Atmosphere is based on tidiness and setup, it's nice for what it is and nicer than many similar places, rating is relative to other cafes.My food rating is based ONLY on the drinks we get and the braised pork bowl. Between our kids and ourselves we've had at least a hundred drinks here, especially the coconut sago ones which are the best around. We used to go down to San Bruno but after this place opened, we have never gone back, Simple One's versions are hands down better. We've tried similar at other places and the result is the same, we wished we had a Simple One version in our hand.We've not tried any of the food yet so I cannot comment on that other than the braised pork bowl which is a great and simple meal, enough to quell your hunger unless you consume mass quantities.

I had high hopes for another neighborhood dessert shop, but this wasn’t a good experience. Ordered the honeydew melon sago dessert: it was essentially an icy soup with bits of fruit. The sago was clumped together as if it was still thawing from the freezer. Never had such a poor Cantonese style dessert before.Lastly the place was empty at 8p but every table was dirty. No one bothered to wipe down any of the tables.Hard pass.
Love the different sago desserts and the sesame soup!

Coconut sago drinks are bomb
It's been a while since I was last here, but my has their menu grown since they first opened.The place still looks the same, but the difference is that you place the order at the register now instead of them taking your order. It wasn't super busy, but the person who works there didn't seem too happy to help me either.I went here because I was craving the fried buns with condensed milk, and it was just like I remembered. Crispy on the outside with a balanced fluffy and doughiness on the inside.Peanut butter toast with condensed milk did not taste the same. It had a hint of coconut taste to it that I wasn't a fan of and lacked a creaminess to it.Waffles (hk style)- i got it because I was curious. I mean, you really can't go wrong with waffles. I was wrong. This had the same filling as my toast, and the filling was mainly on one side. They made it into a sandwich, which left me with wanting something more, and this fell short.French fries - surprisingly tasty and crunchy.Popcorn chicken - crunchy, flavorful, and moist on the insideMango matcha latte - This was good, but I was expecting like fresh mango chunks or something. Instead, it was a puree smeared around the cup. I was also a little disappointed they don't have the cups anymore that have their logo on it.
Stopped in to try the bingsu. Ordered mixed fruit chocolate bingsu, strawberry sage and lychee sago drinks. They top the drinks with fresh fruit, nice touch. Both drinks were good and refreshing. The bingsu was a healthy portion size. Smooth chocolate shaved ice and fresh fruit to top. I think my son ate least a quarter of it himself, it was smooth and not Icy. Good refreshing dessert.
Really good baked meat sauce spaghetti and chicken a la king baked rice. Their set means come with a small milk tea boba, which you can upgrade to coconut mango sago for $3.75. The food is really good and drinks delicious. We got there a little after 6 on Saturday and it got super busy after with so many to go orders.
Delicious! Also very cute and chill vibe! Loved it.
